The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

16. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

Governing Law. This EULA shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this EULA evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. The Software of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Alameda County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Alameda County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
Arbitration. Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from GreenCardHero. For any dispute with GreenCardHero, you agree to first contact us at legal@GreenCardHero.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that GreenCardHero has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this EULA, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Alameda County, California, unless you and GreenCardHero agree otherwise. If you are an individual using the Software or the Documentation for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney's fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing GreenCardHero from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.
Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used the Software or the Documentation for personal, commercial or other purposes, all claims must be brought in the parties' individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. You agree that, by entering into this EULA, you and GreenCardHero are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.

17. General

Assignment. This EULA, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by GreenCardHero without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
Notification Procedures and Changes to this EULA. GreenCardHero may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by GreenCardHero in our sole discretion. GreenCardHero reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our Users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this EULA.

When we change this EULA in a material manner, we will update the 'last modified' date at the bottom of this page and notify you that material changes have been made to this EULA. Your continued use of the Software or the Documentation after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new EULA. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future EULA, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Software or the Documentation.
Entire Agreement/Severability. This EULA, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with GreenCardHero in connection with the Software and the Documentation, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and GreenCardHero concerning the Software and the Documentation. If any provision of this EULA is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this EULA, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.
No Waiver. No waiver of any term of this EULA shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and GreenCardHero's failure to assert any right or provision under this EULA shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
